I am a newbie to Appsheet and have been given the task to design an app for my company. I have 2 tables. A “tasks” table with columns of task_id, dept_id and name of the task. I have another table, “departments” with columns of dept_id and name of dept.

I would like to create a reference between the tasks and departments table on the dept_id, and then slice the resulting list and extract certain tasks for a department. Below, an excerpt of the tasks table, and the department table can be found.

dept_id task_id name
5 1 Safety Glasses
5 2 Gloves
5 3 Safety Boots
5 4 Branded Jacket
5 5 Pants
5 6 Hard hat
4 7 Collect office keys and fob’s
dept_id name
1 Engineering
2 Finance
3 Analytics
4 Legal and Risk
5 Health & Safety
6 Account Management
7 Operations
8 General
9 Business Development
10 EXCO

I am looking at creating a view, to display the specified tasks for a new employee when they select their department. Please may someone help or direct me to a tutorial or similar question. Thank you
